Food facilities are obligated to keep the public safe from health risks and intentional adulteration vulnerabilities through assessment and mitigation strategies. AIB International’s Intentional Adulteration Assessment will assess your Food Defense Plan and identify potential gaps to help you meet the requirements of the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

Add this inspection to your next GMP Inspection or other inspection and consulting services.

Large-Scale Food and Beverage Manufacturers
Companies that produce food and beverages on a large scale are at higher risk of intentional adulteration due to the volume of products they handle. These facilities need to ensure their Food Defense Plans are robust and comply with FSMA requirements.

Facilities Handling High-Risk Ingredients
Manufacturers that work with ingredients or products that are more susceptible to tampering, such as those with high economic value or those that are perishable, should undergo an Intentional Adulteration Assessment.

Exporters to the U.S.
Food and beverage facilities outside the U.S. that export products to the U.S. must comply with FSMA regulations. These companies need to ensure their Food Defense Plans meet U.S. standards through such assessments.

Facilities Subject to GFSI Standards
Companies seeking or maintaining Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification, which emphasizes food defense, would benefit from this assessment to ensure their plans align with GFSI standards.
